This ship is perfect for swarming naval maneuvers, but they are, as what you have said, susceptible to air threats. Thus, they can only be deployed for territorial defense. I do ponder on how a flotilla of these would fare against say a squadron of the PLAN's Type 052Ds.![]()
A bit like this I afraid;
or like this
Swarm attacks without air, sea and electronic cover are still just as doomed as ever. Tactics are being developed, weapons and sensor too, to defeat the concept of swarm boats. What is the more dangerous part would be the large volume of anti-ship missiles fired from a collection of these boats towards an enemy flotilla. Some would be defeated, but many would still get through and defeat their targets.
